So they were going to learn how to cast Melofors? She nodded, listening to Professor Carton talk through what they need to visualise and understand. Conjure said pumpkin. What colour is the pumpkin? What shape? How wide? How tall? She paused, thinking through the shape of her pumpkin first and then drew it on a piece of parchment to help her visualise it clearly.

Next, Lisa had to practice the spell. She decided to first tackle the wand movement with her quill. She drew the half moon crescent shape meeting a cartoon cloud or w-shape. Once she had gotten the shape right, she picked up her wand and then traced the outline in front of her. Upward curve to the right, downward curve to the right, a "U" shape.....

"MEL OH fors. Mellllohfors. Melofors." She repeated that as she looked at the wand movement that she had driven in front of her. Half crescent meets a cute, round 'w'. Upward curve to the right, downward curve to the right, U-shape, upward curve to the left. Then speak the incantation... Upward curve to the right, downward curve to the right, a "U" shape.....

Now she had to visualise the pumpkin. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on what it could look like. They had to be small and cute (just like she was ) and round too. Lisa could picture the pumpkin- it was about six inches wide and seven inches tall. It was cute. Very cute.

She opened her eyes. Upward curve to the right, downward curve to the right, a "U" shape. "Melofors," she spoke, trying her hardest to imagine the pumpkin in front of her. No orange flash appeared. She bit her lip and tried again with more emphasis on the wand movement. "Melofors!"

The pumpkin that she had visualised appeared in front of her but it leaned ever so slightly to the right, its stem was shorter than anticipated and the body of the pumpkin WAS bigger, aaand it had these weird bumps on it that she didn't want. It was an apricot yellow. She frowned. She could work with this.

Now onto the other two...
